S1E03 | Can Rudeness Ever Really Be Justified? With Cynthia Morton, Pride of Australia Medal , An Australian of The Year Award, Award of Distinction for Services to Humanity, Prime Minister's Award

What Would June Dally-Watkins Do?

Join Jodie and Cynthia Morton as we discuss the need for humanity above etiquette and decide whether there are times when rudeness is acceptable. When we know that so much of what was expected of women in the 40’s and 50’s was to “smile” and “be polite.” we ask the question, is that robotic behaviour? And how much of our society's attempt at “people pleasing” is actually pleasing people?

Today’s episode of What Would June Dally Watkins do reflects on the day when Grace Tame broke the internet - not with a scandal, but with a scowl. If it’s true that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, why was she vilified by the press? Today’s guest, Cynthia Morton, an Australian of the Year Award winner and nationally award winning writer, dissects the effect of trauma on politeness and the importance of being kind to yourself first.
